Sam’s Tavern has more than the juiciest, most crave worthy burgers in Seattle; it’s the birthplace of a national chain recognizable across the country. The Daily Meal announced Sam’s 50/50 Burger the 41st Best Burger in America: certified Angus beef is woven with hickory smoked bacon for a textural wonderland of savory flavors. Creamy avocado, fresh buttermilk ranch dressing and yes, more bacon, are stuffed between a light fluffy bun to finish this culinary masterpiece.

“The bacon-infused patty was tasty, the chili reminded me of good homemade chili,” Yelp reviewer and Seattle local Jerry wrote, “and the fries were hot and crispy.” You’re going to want to plan your next night out at Sam’s Tavern to take advantage of their entire menu, sprinkled with local favorites like buffalo gulf shrimp, Bailey’s and Kahlua Oreo shakes, and crispy onion rings.

This humble tavern has deep roots; over 70 years ago, Sam opened the first location in Seattle with big dreams. After transitioning into the Red Robin franchise it is today, Sam’s Tavern was revived in 2012 to restore the original charm and local flavor that was so successful. It quickly became a crowd favorite, requiring two additional locations in South Lake Union and Redmond to satisfy hungry diners across the state. With a wide variety of menu options for all dietary needs, all visitors will enjoy ordering a plate at Sam’s Tavern. It’s easy to see why this hip eatery with old school origins is quickly becoming the hottest new burger joint in town.
